## About

In 1905, Thomas Fentiman, an iron puddler from Cleckheaton, was approached by a fellow tradesman for a loan. A deal was struck and a recipe for botanically-brewed ginger beer was provided as security. The loan was never repaid so Thomas became the owner of the unique recipe.

Over 100 years later, the business is still in the family, owned by the great grandson of Thomas Fentiman. We also continue to make our delicious, natural beverages by the multi-stage botanical brewing technique. 

Our processes have been updated, and our beverages are now carbonated before being filled and pasteurised to extend the shelf life. However, the one thing that has not changed is the superior quality, craftsmanship and unsurpassed flavour of our drinks.
